Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Yuki could have used "Eternal Soul" to repeatedly jump back and forth with his master, but his opponent was unwilling to give him even that opportunity.

"Finally place 1 card face down, end the turn."

With her lips slightly parted, she announced the rotation. Viper once again persuaded Youxi, "Right now, whether it's health points or the situation on the field, I far surpass you. Aren't you going to give up, Youxi? It's not too late for you to agree now."

"No matter how many times, my answer will never change."

Yu Xi shook his head and said seriously, "This situation does look hopeless, but it's not without hope of turning the tide. As long as my LP doesn't reach 0... no, even if my HP really does become 0, I won't give up!"

"Stubborn!"

Seeing that You Xidu was spouting nonsense like "I won't give up even if my LP is reduced to 0", Viper couldn't help but let out an angry snort.

"Then there's no other way. Let your soul become a sacrifice on my path of revenge!"

"That's hard to say, let's use this draw to turn the tide!" Yu Xi placed her hand on top of the deck, exuding a powerful aura. "My turn, draw!!"

The card sword, representing the alternation of turns, was drawn. The boy glanced at it briefly, said nothing, and instead took out one card from his own graveyard.

"I activate the effect of 'Jet Synchron': Once per turn, discard 1 card from your hand, and Special Summon this card from your Graveyard."

"At this point, the effects of 'Dragonblood Vampire' will be activated in a chain reaction."

The viper interrupted, "When a monster card effect with the same name as a monster in either player's Graveyard is activated, that activation is negated. Naturally, this also includes monster effects activated directly from the Graveyard. Negate the effect of 'Jet Synchronizer'."

The arrow of blood pierced through the "Jet Synchron" that was trying to emerge from the dimensional hole, sending the resurrected tuner back to its original state.

The "Dragonblood Vampire" effect can only be used once per turn, but Viper uses it without hesitation.

This is because she had already checked and found that there were no more monsters in Yuki's graveyard that could activate their effects there, so preventing the Synchro Summoning of "Jet Synchronizer" after its resurrection was the most important thing.

"Then banish one LIGHT and one DARK monster from the graveyard, and Special Summon 'Chaos Warrior - Messenger of the Beginning'."

"Chaos Warrior - Messenger of the Beginning, Level 8/Light/Warrior" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

One soul guides the light, the other points to darkness.

Within the chaotic realm, the strongest warrior, possessing the power to create everything, re-enters the arena.

"After the Ritual Monster version, have they summoned the Effect version of 'Chaos Soldier'?"

The venomous snake gazed at the radiant light, its immense power evident even from the aura of the great opening. Its expression shifted slightly, then it dismissed the threat, saying, "But so what? With the 'Second Barrier' in effect, no matter how strong your monsters are, they can't break through."

"But 'Opening Up' has another way of fighting."

[You can target 1 monster on the field. Banish that monster. This card cannot attack the turn this effect is activated.]

"I'm excluding 'Dracula the Dragonblood'!"

With a mighty cleave, he raised his blade high and slashed downwards, easily cleaving through the once-solid spatial barrier and taking away the "Dragonblood Demon" with the "No." mark.

However, the progenitor of this vampire returned the next moment.

"Vampires are legendary monsters, possessing the strongest immortality. Don't think you can easily defeat them. 'Dragonblood Demon Dragodes' effect activated!"

[If this card leaves the field face-up due to an opponent's card effect, you can activate this effect. Special Summon this card face-down in Defense Position.]

"I placed 'Dragonblood Demon' face-down in my backrow, so it won't be your target, and in a flip situation, it can send one of your cards to the Graveyard. Too bad, Yuuki. Your 'Opening Up' effect has been wasted."

"No, that's fine."

You Xi said, "All I need is to render the 'Dragonblood Demon' powerless, so you can't use its effects to interfere with me."

"What? You know the effects of this monster of mine?"

"No, but I can roughly guess."

Yu Xi shook his head and said, "Since you summoned the 'Dragonblood Demon' to prevent the 'Dimensional Wall,' it must have a second speed effect."

"It doesn't seem like Kang, otherwise you would have used it to nullify my 'Eternal Soul.' In conclusion, I think its most likely ability is a second-speed projectile or a second-speed cover monster, the latter being more probable. Because you used 'Dragonblood Demon' first, not 'Vampire Eater' to launch the attack."

...You were right.

The venomous snake was amazed by Youxi's keen perception, never expecting that he could analyze so much from just one sentence.

"But even if you eliminate the interference of 'Dragonblood Demon,' what then? You only have two cards left in your hand. Can you really turn the tide with those cards?"

"Of course I can! What you can do, I can do too. I'll first set one card on the field, then activate the Spell Card: 'Heavenly Treasure'!"

After inserting the drawn card into the Duel Disk, a vibrant green card appeared in front of Yuki.

In the card, two warriors are bathed in a rain of gold coins, their faces beaming with joy.

"Why activate a card like 'Heavenly Treasure' at this time? Is it some kind of desperate gamble?"

The venomous snake was not unaware of the magic card that Yuki had played.

In her memory, this card's effect was actually quite problematic, ranking high on the "Unpopular Card Ranking." It seems Yuki has also been driven into a corner.

"I can roughly guess what you're thinking, but things aren't quite what you expect."

Yuki was certainly familiar with the name of that version of "Heavenly Treasure Card". When he used to play cards, he saw that the effect of "Heavenly Treasure Card" was different from the animation and thought that the effect was printed wrong here.

but……

"My 'Heavenly Descent' doesn't have that effect. Its effect is—both players draw six cards from their hands!"

"What did you say? Draw all 6!"

The venomous snake cried out in alarm.

This effect is completely different from cards like "Silence Magic Blast" that Yuuki used before. Those cards at least required meeting certain specific conditions, but this is a direct free draw of 6 cards!

"That's it. Neither of us has any cards in hand right now, so we'll each draw 6 cards from our decks."

Countless rays of light poured out from the magic cards, raining down on Yuki's deck. By feel, Yuki drew six cards from the top—cards that carried all his hopes.

"coming!"

Yuki placed the card down and said, "First, I summon 'Magic Warrior Destroyer' in Attack Position. When this card is successfully summoned, it gains 1 Spell Counter. You can also remove this counter and destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field."

Trap Card activated: "Return to the Front."

The snake's feet were covered with a card.

"Use this card's effect to Special Summon 'Vampire Red Death' from your Graveyard in Defense Position."

"Vampire - Red Reaper, Level 5/Dark/Undead" "ATK: 2000→2500/DEF: 1400"

Instead of choosing "Earthbound Gods," they resurrected the main branch of the "Vampires." The Dead Apostle, wielding a scythe, stood silently in the backstage.

"As long as 'Vampire Red Death' is on the field, if my monster is destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect, I can pay Life Points instead. Combined with 'Skill Imprisonment' in the Graveyard, even if you intend to break through using a monster effect, it's impossible."

"is that so."

Yuki said, "First, I activate the Equip Spell: 'Premature Burial,' paying 800 LP to revive 'Baroness of Flowers' in Attack Position. Then, I use 'Monster Reborn' to Special Summon 1 monster from my Graveyard."

"Do you wish to revive the Sky Dragon Osiris?"

"I suspect," the venomous snake asked.

With Yuki's current hand, the resurrected "Sky Dragon" has an attack power of 4000, stronger than all the monsters on the field. But even a god-tier card can't beat me.

"Do not."

As Youxi answered the snake's questions, she took out a different card.

"The one I want to resurrect is the 'Dark Magician'!"

It's not a god card, but rather the core and soul of this deck.

The purple-clad mage materialized once more, facing Yu Xi's numerous enemies with an unchanging expression.

"There are some things that the God Cards can't do, but the 'Dark Magician' can. For example—an Ambush Card activated, 'Eye of Timaeus'!!"

As the finger pressed the switch, a jade dragon emerged from the emerald green card, its eyes gleaming with dazzling light.

"what happened?"

The powerful roar shook the atmosphere, and the venomous snake was astonished to find that its proud triple barrier was trembling slightly in response to the roar.

"The power of 'Orichalcos' is wavering? Yuuki, what exactly is that magic card of yours?"

"It's a secret weapon specifically designed to deal with 'Orichalcos'."

Yuki stretched out his fist and said, "The effect of 'Eye of Timaeus'! It allows you to fuse this card with a 'Dark Magic' monster, giving the latter a completely new form."

"Merge with the 'Dark Magician,' and evolve, 'Timaeus!'"

"Roar!"

The emerald dragon responded with a loud roar from Yuki, flying to the side of the "Black Magician" and unleashing endless light. Born from the light was a magician clad in brand-new armor.

"Descend, 'Super Magical Warrior - Chaos Ruler'!!!"

"Super Magic Warrior - Chaos Ruler, Level 8/Dark/Mage/Fusion" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

"[Dark Magician] + [Chaos] Ritual Monster"

Originally, it required the fusion of both "Dark Magician" and "Chaos" ritual monsters to appear, but this was disregarded by the power of "Timaeus". What appeared now was the most powerful magician with the power of "Opening".

"The effect of 'Chaos Ruler' has activated!"

Yu Xi said, "If a Fusion Summon is successful, Special Summon 1 LIGHT/DARK monster from your Graveyard. I Special Summon 'Dark Witch - Diabelstar' again from the Attack List, and then immediately use its second effect—Ban 1 LIGHT/DARK monster from your field, and banish all monsters from your opponent's field!"

"Except for all of them!?"

Upon hearing this, the viper's pupils constricted sharply: "Impossible! How could such a thing happen!"

If all else is excluded, the "Vampire Red Reaper" effect of breaking through is meaningless, and the "Skill Imprisonment" in the graveyard is also useless. "Chaos Ruler," this monster summoned by "Eye of Timaeus," has perfectly countered everything about itself.

Viper wanted to stop this effect, but unfortunately, Yuxi had "Baron de Flore" on her field, which could control any of her hand traps.

Before she knew it, two words came to mind.

——It’s over.

"This is the most powerful strike that even heaven and earth are awestruck by! [Super Magical Chaos Rift Slash]!!"

With Yu Xi's shout, a blade of light capable of splitting the sky and the earth flashed past, and many "vampires" were all cut in half horizontally, with no possibility of resurrection under the ravages of the chaotic power.

Oh, and there's also a "Dream Collapse" in the middle.
